Exhibition News: Other Rooms at BasementArtsProjects

Ben Woodeson (2014), Neon Lighting and Glass)

I will be taking part in Other Rooms, an exhibition also featuring Hanz Hancock, Patrick Morrissey, Giulia Ricci, Sarah Sparkes, Andy Wicks, Ben Woodeson, and John Workman at BasementArtsProjects in January 2015.

Other Rooms gathers eight artists whose practice encapsulates a wide diversity of approaches, from performance and painting to film, sculpture and installation. Each artist will react to the physical characteristics of BasementArtsProject’s gallery environment and reconsider the life of the art object when it is contextualised outside of the ideological space of the 'white cube'. BasementArtsProject’s Other Rooms acts as a fulcrum where artworks expand into a notional consideration of space beyond the modern tradition of the art gallery. This analysis of alternative spaces suggests a reflection on the vocabulary of territories, institutions, boundaries, and their related systems of inclusion and exclusion, representation and de-presentation. For the duration of the exhibition the gallery space will be unlit, with all artworks providing their own light source.

About Me

Information

Charley Peters’ work employs a rational methodology of drawing and painting to generate work with a refined, reductive aesthetic. Interested in the point of collapse between two and three dimensions, her practice examines notions of folded space and visual construction. Using systematic and logical approaches such as repetition, perspective, mathematical patterns and geometry, her work explores the interruption of the two dimensional plane and the manifestation of flatness in three dimensions. Peters’ work is precisely executed, concealing the artist’s hand in its production. Her work can be positioned within a discourse about the condition of painting in a post-digital landscape, exploring the material experience of paint in the age of the screen and the role of analogue programming to generate painted form.

Peters is a contributor to Abstract Critical's monthly blog AbCrit and writes regularly for Saturation Point, the online editorial project for reductive, geometric and systems art in the UK. With artists Patrick Morrissey and Hanz Hancock Peters works as part of the curatorial group Saturation Point Projects who organise exhibitions and events to raise the profile of reductive, geometric and systems-based art practices.
